We used to call him 'pumpkin eater' because no one would sit with him a while, especially not women (as in the song about a man who 'had a wife but couldn't keep her'). I could never work out where the change came from- surely he must, sometimes, have to break a £20 to produce the change? Strange indeed.Perdita Tinselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741015473009270250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-65038096349678362452011-06-14T17:01:18.746-07:002011-06-14T17:01:18.746-07:00I have never heard "put a glass eye to sleep&...I have never heard "put a glass eye to sleep" but it's a good one!
